ABOUT ME

This is what my bud says- "I've known Ari for years. I can tell you from my own experience that she's very sociable, honest, reliable, diplomatic and lots of fun. She has an uncanny ability to connect with people and has a lovely, positive nature"

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing too profound. I believe in the goodness and beauty of simple things. These poems articulate my beliefs better than I can- The invitation by Oriah and Desiderata by Max Ehrmann.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to host and can't wait to surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Having my first couch surfer guest come and stay next week and will start my own traveling escape in three weeks. Yay!

Interests

I've finished my undergraduate degree in social anthropology- so naturally I have an interest in all things people and culture. I love all artistic endevours- music, drawing, cooking and writing. I wish I did these things more. I'm most happy when I'm with my friends in the fresh air- taking bush walks and going for swims in the ocean.

As well as my artistic interests, I'm also conscious of how individuals, including myself can make a worthwhile contribution to the world. I'm still trying to figure out the best way I can do that.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

1) walked 800k's from France across Spain!
2) watching an elephant give birth in a rural Thai village
3) Walking in the dark and rain, through an abandoned train tunnel to find thousands of amazing glow worms. It was like looking at another galaxy!
4) Meeting orangutans in the Sumatran jungle
